California, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton Corporation Emissions Control Warranty Statement
The California Air Resources Board, U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased
to explain the emissions control system warranty on your Model Year 2014-2016 engine.
In California, new small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less than or
equal to 1.0 liter must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti-smog standards. B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your engine for
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your engine.
Your exhaust emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter, are
warranted for two years, or for the time time period listed in the respective engine or
product warranty statement, whichever is greater. If any emissions-related part on your
B&S engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emissions Control Warranty
Coverage. It is in addition to the B&S engine warranty for non-regulated engines found in
the Operator's Manual.

2.
Length of Coverage
Coverage is for a period of two years from date of original purchase, or for the time
period listed in the respective engine or product warranty statement, whichever is
greater. B&S warrants to the original purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that
the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable
regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; that it is free from defects in
material and workmanship that could cause the failure of a warranted part; and that it
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) small
off-road Emissions Standard must display information regarding the Emissions Durability
Period and the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this information available to the
consumer on our emissions labels. The engine emissions label will indicate certification
information.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time
for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operator's Manual. The following categories are
used:
Moderate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for 50
hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
125 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended:
Engines at or less than 80 cc displacement are certified to be emissions compliant for
300 hours of actual engine running time. Engines greater than 80 cc displacement are
certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Operator's Manual. B&S recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely
for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you
warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a B&S distribution center, servicing
dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact B&S at 1--800--444--7774 (in USA) or

is identical in all material respects to the engine described in the manufacturer's
application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the engine is
originally purchased.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to the
owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted
for the remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
in the Operator's Manual supplied, is warranted for the period of time prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no
charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for the part.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board
may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts by the
owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will
not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
non-exempted add-on or modified part.
3.
Consequential Coverage
Coverage shall extend to the failure of any engine components caused by the
failure of any warranted emissions parts.
4.
Claims and Coverage Exclusions
Warranty claims shall be filed according to the provisions of the B&S engine
warranty policy. Warranty coverage does not apply to failures of emissions parts
that are not original equipment B&S parts or to parts that fail due to abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance as set forth in the B&S engine warranty policy. B&S is not
liable for warranty coverage of failures of emissions parts caused by the use of
add-on or modified parts.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.
Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating
would equate to 10 to 12 years.
Briggs & Stratton engines are certified to meet the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 or Phase 3 emissions standards. The Emissions
Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number
of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emissions
requirements.
For engines at or less than 80 cc displacement:
Category C = 50 hours, Category B = 125 hours, Category A = 300 hours
For engines greater than 80 cc displacement and less than 225 cc displacement:
Category C = 125 hours, Category B = 250 hours, Category A = 500 hours
For engines of 225 cc or more displacement:
Category C = 250 hours, Category B = 500 hours, Category A = 1000 hours
